Throwback to 1995! 📸 Then and now, Alaska is at the heart of who I am. I owe everything to this state and our people, and that’s why I’m fighting so hard to deliver for our communities and protect our way of life.

The LAPD marched on journalists after they captured footage of them arresting an injured protestor outside of an ICE concentration camp on No Kings: Vote Early. I’m 50501’s National Press Coordinator, & even I can tell you: LAPD is collaborating with ICE & it’s because Mayor Karen Bass lets them.

“Had I intervened on behalf of the rich... it would have been deemed worthy of reward rather than punishment.” John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry began on this day in 1859. Listen to the final speech he gave before being executed by the slave state of Virginia for his actions.

Mary Peltola on Trump and JD Vance rushing to Alaska to campaign for her Republican opponent. “You can't help but be a little bit flattered ... it just means that we're a threat.”

So many women running for governor across the country, and this doesn’t even include them all! Cindy Holscher in Kansas and Jerri Green in Tennessee are among those missing. Women are stepping up, and it’s amazing to see! 💙 #VivaHerAlliance #VoteBlue

Why has no elected official publicly condemned plans to turn an execution by firing squad into entertainment? It's appalling.

🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption: “A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.” Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

I think reporters should spend a couple of news cycles asking all current GOP candidates which cities THEY think Iran should take out. Do they agree with DT that it's LA and San Diego? Or would they prefer maybe Chicago and NY or some other combination? Shouldn't they have a say?

Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden. That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.
